Hello, this is Kumai from Layout.
December has come so quickly...
I say this every year, but it really is amazing how quickly the year ends.
It's so cold every day.
Kumai is a summer lover and already misses summer, but she also enjoys the refreshing feeling of basking in the clear air and gentle warmth of the sun on a sunny winter day.
On my days off, I like to sunbathe on the balcony.
December is event season!
I'm already looking forward to eating cake on Christmas, enjoying a year-end feast, and watching the Johnny's countdown concert.
As the end of the year approaches, I find myself becoming lenient with myself. (I was also being lenient with myself in my last blog.)
It's a reward for working hard this year, and I'm not just loosening my purse strings, it's disappearing.
So I would like to record my recent self-pampering series.
Completely private solo sauna
I love saunas but haven't been to one recently, so I decided to treat myself to a private sauna for the first time in a while!
Well, the prices are much higher than at a super public bath, but you can enjoy the sauna without worrying about being seen by others.
The sauna was a whopping 110 degrees Celsius, so hot I was sweating like crazy.
You can also enjoy self-louvering.
Since it's a solo sauna, you're free to lie down, stretch, or sing along.
It's okay to make strange noises when you're in the cold bath.
After getting out of the cold bath, I play my favorite music on my smartphone and just sit there.
I was completely relaxed and ready to go.
It's really important to keep your autonomic nervous system in order!
I love big baths, but being completely alone has its own unique charm.
I often find myself thinking a lot while taking a bath.
Even if you're stuck at work, an idea will suddenly come to you while you're taking a bath.
Since we spend a lot of time on our computers and smartphones, it's important to force ourselves to take time for a digital detox.
There are also videos on YouTube showing how to enjoy it, so I'll post them here.
If you're a sauna lover who has never tried a solo sauna, be sure to check it out.
Moisturizing your skin and mind
I'm struggling every day with the dryness that comes with the cold weather, and it's more than just dry and flaky; it's itchy.
Recently, I decided to try CBD, which I've been interested in for a while.
I'm also very interested in the sublingual type, but I'll start with the body first.
It is one of the main components of hemp and is said to have a relaxing effect and stabilize the autonomic nervous system.
It seems that products that are applied directly to the skin can also have anti-inflammatory effects.
I think you can find plenty of these kinds of consumables if you look for reasonably good, inexpensive products, but using a little better quality products will not only nourish your skin, but your mind too. (It won't nourish your wallet.)
When you're busy, it's easy to neglect self-care in various areas, so why not pamper yourself by collecting things that will make your life a little better?
Let's enjoy 2021 until the very end~♪
See you later.
